THE BUNN

There have been a bunch of requests for short baritones. Ibanez RGD, Reverend Decent, Jericho, ESP etc.. This one is kind of special. It’s a secret badass shorty.  

The most unlikely guitar to become popular in heavy music has become popular in heavy music. The Jazzmaster Baritone is a 30” scale baritone that ships tuned to B standard but you can tune it A LOT lower.

There’s been quite a few comments asking about the PRS SE277 series. The Semi Hollow model is the one I’m the interested in, so that’s what we’re looking at.  

A longer scale length does not mean baritone. BUT - More scale length can GREATLY improve baritone tuning, especially when tuning below B Standard or Drop A.  

We thought getting a baritone was gonna fix all of our low tuning problems, but it only fixed half of those problems. Trying to tune our 34” scale bass down lower than A just doesn’t usually work so well. No…

The Sidejack Baritone merges the cool retro looks of Mosrite most popularly used by the Ramones and the Ventures, with a sweet baritone scale length for tuning a bunch lower.  

In the last video (Missed, Wronged & Rejected 2017 BARITONES), the last guitar included was the Danelectro Baritone because the thought was it would be the last guitar we would ever use for heavy stuff. 

Sharing newer discoveries, corrections and the stuff I left out of the initial 2017 Baritone Roundup that a lot of YOU GUYS have commented on, messaged and emailed me about.

Youtube subscriber Mark Bark asks "How hard it is to adjust the intonation should I want to drop the tuning down to F# or some other lower tuning than the factory B?". 

We’re looking at production 6 string baritones that come standard with a humbucker in the bridge position, and are at least 27.5” or longer in scale length.

In 1999 I started messing with trying to tune below B standard on a 24.75” “Gibson scale” guitar. It didn't work at all, even with HUGE strings. I found “Fender scale” of 25.5” a bit better- I could get down…
